[四層考點預(yù)測]
考點1 事實細節(jié)題
事實細節(jié)題是高考英語閱讀理解中分布密度最大的一種題型,它主要考查考生對相關(guān)句子進行準確識別和理解的能力。這類題目難度較低,但數(shù)量眾多,所以做好事實細節(jié)題是閱讀理解拿高分的關(guān)鍵。
1. 直接信息題
這類題目的答案可以從原文的某一句話中直接獲取,正確選項大多含有相關(guān)句子中的單詞,只是比原句更加簡短緊湊。

(2020·全國甲卷)Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on mathematics development in young children at the University of Chicago, found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills. Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition (認知) after controlling for differences in parents income, education and the amount of parent talk, Levine said.
24. In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play?
A. Building confidence.
B. Developing spatial skills.
C. Learning self?control.
D. Gaining high?tech knowledge.
[備考點睛]
B 事實細節(jié)題。根據(jù)found children who...spatial skills可知,對2到4歲的孩子而言,玩拼圖游戲有助于提升他們的空間能力,B項直接體現(xiàn)出這句話的核心含義。
2. 間接信息題
這類題目介于直接細節(jié)題和推理判斷題之間,有時也稱作信息推斷題,正確答案無法在文中直接找到。解答這類題目時,考生需要對原文信息進行加工處理,做出簡單的推導(dǎo),從而體會文本的言外之意。

(2017·全國乙卷) A build?it?yourself solar still (蒸餾器) is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, its an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since its all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5'× 5' sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container—perhaps just a drinking cup—to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.
32. What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?
A. Its delicate. B. Its expensive.
C. Its complex. D. Its portable.
[備考點睛]
D 事實細節(jié)題。根據(jù)選文的最后一句可知,這種太陽能蒸餾器可以折疊起來,然后別在腰帶上,由此可以看出,這個裝置是“便攜式的”。盡管原文內(nèi)容只涉及這一特征的表現(xiàn)形式或?qū)崿F(xiàn)方式,并未明說它具有這一特點,但只要經(jīng)過簡單的推理,就不難得出“這款蒸餾器便于攜帶”這一結(jié)論。
3. 語意轉(zhuǎn)換題
這類題目的正確答案對原文信息進行了同義替換,與原文語句在表達上存在較大差異。解答這類題目時,考生需要進行對比或整理才能找出正確答案。

(2020·全國乙卷)Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50?kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sports rules require that a race walkers knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接觸) with the ground at all times...
28. Why are race walkers conditioned athletes?
A. They must run long distances.
B. They are qualified for the marathon.
C. They have to follow special rules.
D. They are good at swinging their legs.
[備考點睛]
C 事實細節(jié)題。根據(jù)選文的最后一句可知,參加競走項目時,運動員的支撐腿要伸直,并且要保證一只腳始終與地面接觸。換句話說,競走運動員必須遵守特定的規(guī)則。正是由于這些規(guī)則的存在,我們才說當競走運動員是有條件限制的。the sports rules require與have to follow special rules雖然表述不同,但均包含“競走運動的參與者必須遵守規(guī)則”這一意義。
考點2 推理判斷題

[真題鏈接]
(2021·全國乙卷)Youve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans—between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year. But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference? Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re?examine their relationship to single?use plastic products.
At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse,” a pair of 10?foot?tall plastic waves, frozen mid?crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source (來源) of plastic pollution, but theyve recently come under fire because most people dont need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw thats part of Von Wongs artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.
29. Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3?
A. To show the difficulty of their recycling.
B. To explain why they are useful.
C. To voice his views on modern art.
D. To find a substitute for them.

A 推理判斷題。解題思路如下:
[確定 通讀文章,可以確定文章的體裁是說明文。文章介紹了藝術(shù)家Benjamin Von Wong用塑料垃圾制作了一件藝術(shù)作品,讓觀看者通過這件藝術(shù)作品重新審視他們與一次性塑料制品的關(guān)系 辨別 根據(jù)第3段的內(nèi)容可知,全球只有9%的塑料垃圾被回收。塑料吸管絕不是最大的塑料污染源,但它們最近卻受到了抨擊,因為大多數(shù)人不需要吸管喝飲料,而且由于它們體積小、重量輕,無法被回收利用。Von Wong的作品中的每一根吸管都很可能只用來喝了幾分鐘的飲料。一旦飲料被喝完,使用后的吸管將需要幾個世紀才能消失 再推斷 吸管體積小、重量輕,很難被回收利用。由此可推知,作者在第3段討論吸管是為了展示回收它們的困難 ]
(2021·新高考Ⅰ卷)Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重視) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well?being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re?evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.
34. What is the authors attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?
A. Favorable. B. Intolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
A 推理判斷題。解題思路如下:
[找關(guān)鍵 找出題干中的關(guān)鍵詞:authors attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence 定語段 根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞,定位信息段。根據(jù)信息段中的“Although popular beliefs...social well?being.”可知,宣傳的總體效果一直是利大于弊 巧比對 比較信息句中體現(xiàn)作者態(tài)度的詞。由more beneficial than harmful、The most positive aspect及has helped可知,作者對“情商普及”的態(tài)度是贊成的 ]

Skiddaw in Winter
Cumbria, England It was an extremely cold winters evening and freezing fog hung in the air. I climbed to the top of a small rise and realised that the mist was little more than a few feet deep, and though it was only a short climb, I found myself completely above it and looking at a wonderfully clear view of Skiddaw with the sun setting in the west. I used classical techniques, translated from my college days spent in the darkroom into Photoshop, to achieve the black?and?white image (圖像). Timothy Smith(2014)

The small pine added to the interest and I placed it centrally to take the view from the foreground right through into the forest. ]

考點3 詞義推斷題
詞義推斷題要求考生能辨識句子及語篇中詞(單詞、詞組或固定搭配)的意義或指代關(guān)系,能夠通過上下文判斷詞在特定語境中的具體含義。
詞義推斷題常見的命題方式有:
1. What does the underlined word “...” in paragraph...refer to (mean)?
2. By saying that “...” in paragraph..., what does the author mean?
3. Which word can best replace the underlined word “...” in paragraph...?
4. What is the meaning of “...” in paragraph...related to?
5. Which of the following has the closest meaning to...(in paragraph...)?
6. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph...probably mean?
解題技巧1 替換法
利用同義詞、近義詞(詞組)或相似的結(jié)構(gòu)猜測詞義。在上下文中,有時會出現(xiàn)與生詞同義或近義的詞或結(jié)構(gòu),這時考生可根據(jù)熟悉的詞推知生詞的含義。如果單詞或短語之間有并列連詞and或or,這些單詞或短語在句中通常作相同的成分,并且and或or連接的兩項內(nèi)容在含義上一般是接近的或遞進的,由此可確定同等關(guān)系中的某個生詞所屬的義域,甚至推出它的大致詞義。

(2020·浙江卷)The traffic signals along Factoria Boulevard in Bellevue, Washington, generally dont flash the same length of green twice in a row, especially at rush hour. At 9:30 am, the full red/yellow/green signal cycle might be 140 seconds. By 9:33 am, a burst of additional traffic might push it to 145 seconds. Less traffic at 9:37 am could push it down to 135. Just like the traffic itself, the timing of the signals changes.
That is by design. Bellevue, a fast?growing city just east of Seattle, uses a system that is gaining popularity around the US: intersection (十字路口) signals that can adjust in real time to traffic conditions. These lights, known as adaptive signals, have led to significant declines in both the trouble and cost of travels between work and home.
25. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Increased length of green lights. B. Shortened traffic signal cycle.
C. Flexible timing of traffic signals. D. Smooth traffic flow on the road.
[備考點睛]
C 詞義推斷題。that位于第2段段首,應(yīng)是指代第1段的內(nèi)容。根據(jù)第1段的內(nèi)容尤其是第1段的最后一句“Just like the traffic itself, the timing of the signals changes.”(就像交通本身一樣,信號燈的時間也會變化)可知,第1段主要講述的是信號燈的時間會靈活變化。“That is by design.”意為“那是有意為之”,由此可推知,that指代第1段中的“信號燈的時間會靈活變化”。
解題技巧2 對比法
利用文中的反義詞以及表對比關(guān)系的詞(組)猜測詞義。對比是描述、說明事物的常用方式。對比的事物是互為相反的,因此根據(jù)反義或?qū)Ρ汝P(guān)系可從已知推出未知。
表示對比的信號詞有yet、but、while、though、however、otherwise、on the one hand...on the other hand、for one thing...for another thing、instead of等。

(2020·山東卷)According to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research, both the size and consumption habits of our eating companions can influence our food intake. And contrary to existing research that says you should avoid eating with heavier people who order large portions (份), its the beanpoles with big appetites you really need to avoid.
13. What does the underlined word “beanpoles” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Big eaters. B. Overweight persons.
C. Picky eaters. D. Tall thin persons.
[備考點睛]
D 詞義推斷題。根據(jù)And contrary to...large portions可知,現(xiàn)有的研究認為我們應(yīng)該避免和體重較重、點大份飯菜的人一起吃飯。后半句指出我們真正應(yīng)該避免的是the beanpoles with big appetites。由contrary to可推斷出,畫線詞和heavier people(較重的人)意義相反,D選項(瘦瘦高高的人)正好和heavier people意義相反。
解題技巧3 語境推斷法
利用上下文提供的語境和線索,進行合乎邏輯的綜合分析,進而推測詞義,是閱讀理解的考查重點之一,也是近年來高考考查的熱點。

(2020·全國甲卷)The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades, but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s, the cat?sized animals multiplied like crazy.
Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He says its not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year, so part of Moutons job these days is trying to promote fur.
30. What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Boomed. B. Became mature.
C. Remained stable. D. Crashed.
[備考點睛]
D 詞義推斷題。根據(jù)文中的“The fur trade...like crazy.”可知,毛皮貿(mào)易使海貍鼠的數(shù)量受到了控制,但是當20世紀80年代末海貍鼠毛皮市場崩潰時,這種動物的數(shù)量迅速增加。根據(jù)but判斷,這是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,以前由于毛皮貿(mào)易,海貍鼠的數(shù)量處于控制之中,現(xiàn)在海貍鼠之所以數(shù)量激增,是因為市場不再銷售海貍鼠毛皮,由此可以推斷出畫線詞collapsed 和D項crashed(倒閉)的意思最相近。

(2020·新高考Ⅰ卷)In the mid?1990s, Tom Bissell taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan. He left after seven months, physically broken and having lost his mind. A few years later, still attracted to the country, he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea.
His visit, however, ended up involving a lot more than that. Hence this book, Chasing the Sea: Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia, which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan, where millions of lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea. It is the story of an American travelling to a strange land, and of the people he meets on his way: Rustam, his translator, a lovely 24?year?old who picked up his colorful English in California, Oleg and Natasha, his hosts in Tashkent, and a string of foreign aid workers.
This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan, made of friendliness and warmth, but also its darker side of society. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders, while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a mountain funeral (葬禮) followed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust storms, diseases and fishing boats stuck miles from the sea.
Mr Bissell skillfully organizes historical insights and cultural references, making his tale a well?rounded picture of Uzbekistan, seen from Western eyes. His judgment and references are decidedly American, as well as his delicate stomach. As the author explains, this is neither a travel nor a history book, or even a piece of reportage. Whatever it is, the result is a fine and vivid description of the purest of Central Asian traditions.
8. What made Mr Bissell return to Uzbekistan?
A. His friends invitation. B. His interest in the country.
C. His love for teaching. D. His desire to regain health.
9. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Developing a serious mental disease.
B. Taking a guided tour in Central Asia.
C. Working as a volunteer in Uzbekistan.
D. Writing an article about the Aral Sea.
10. Which of the following best describes Mr Bissells road trip in Uzbekistan?
A. Romantic. B. Eventful. C. Pleasant. D. Dangerous.
11. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To introduce a book. B. To explain a cultural phenomenon.
C. To remember a writer. D. To recommend a travel destination.

(2022·全國甲卷)Sometime in the early 1960s, a significant thing happened in Sydney, Australia. The city discovered its harbor. Then, one after another, Sydney discovered lots of things that were just sort of there—broad parks, superb beaches, and a culturally diverse population. But it is the harbor that makes the city.
Andrew Reynolds, a cheerful fellow in his early 30s, pilots Sydney ferryboats for a living. I spent the whole morning shuttling back and forth across the harbor. After our third run Andrew shut down the engine, and we went out separate ways—he for a lunch break, I to explore the city.
“Ill miss these old boats,” he said as we parted.
“How do you mean?” I asked.
“Oh, theyre replacing them with catamarans. Catamarans are faster, but theyre not so elegant, and theyre not fun to pilot. But thats progress, I guess.”
Everywhere in Sydney these days, change and progress are the watchwords (口號),and traditions are increasingly rare. Shirley Fitzgerald, the citys official historian, told me that in its rush to modernity in the 1970s, Sydney swept aside much of its past, including many of its finest buildings. “Sydney is confused about itself,” she said. “We cant seem to make up our minds whether we want a modern city or a traditional one. Its a conflict that we arent getting any better at resolving (解決).”
On the other hand, being young and old at the same time has its attractions. I consid?ered this when I met a thoughtful young businessman named Anthony. “Many people say that we lack culture in this country,” he told me. “What people forget is that the Italians, when they came to Australia, brought 2,000 years of their culture, the Greeks some 3,000 years, and the Chinese more still. Weve got a foundation built on ancient cultures but with a drive and dynamism of a young country. Its a pretty hard combination to beat.”
He is right, but I cant help wishing they would keep those old ferries.
32. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. Sydneys striking architecture.
B. The cultural diversity of Sydney.
C. The key to Sydneys development.
D. Sydneys tourist attractions in the 1960s.
33. What can we learn about Andrew Reynolds?
A. He goes to work by boat. B. He looks forward to a new life.
C. He pilots catamarans well. D. He is attached to the old ferries.
34. What does Shirley Fitzgerald think of Sydney?
A. It is losing its traditions. B. It should speed up its progress.
C. It should expand its population. D. It is becoming more international.
35. Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A. A city can be young and old at the same time.
B. A city built on ancient cultures is more dynamic.
C. Modernity is usually achieved at the cost of elegance.
D. Compromise should be made between the local and the foreign.

(2021·全國甲卷)When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue?sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.
Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing. I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant dont worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam (橫桿), I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “Safe! Safe! Safe!” And thats what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater.
When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, Id given it up.
When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. Ive traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear; tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving (穿梭) among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail?thin teenager, in a baggy white T?shirt, skidded (滑) up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”
“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.”
8. What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London?

(2021·新高考I卷)By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova—not as a musician but as her page turner. “Im not a trained musician, but Ive learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her perfor?mance.”
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the groups official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesnt have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you dont turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot,” Mr Titterton explained.
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said. “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”
Most page turners are piano students or up?and?coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
“My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “Hes interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ Robert is the best page turner Ive had in my entire life.
24. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner?
A. Read music. B. Play the piano.
C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments.
25. Which of the following best describes Tittertons job on stage?

(2020·全國乙卷)Returning to a book youve read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. Theres a welcome familiarity—but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books dont change, people do. And thats what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.
The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. Its true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But with reading, its all about the present. Its about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight.
There are three books I reread annually. The first, which I take to reading every spring, is Ernest Hemingways A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, its his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating (令人陶醉的), an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillards Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble (隨筆) about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortzars Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry. And because Cortzar.
While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an authors work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, its you that have to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.
24. Why does the author like rereading?
A. It evaluates the writer?reader relationship.
B. Its a window to a whole new world.
C. Its a substitute for drinking with a friend.
D. It extends the understanding of oneself.
25. What do we know about the book A Moveable Feast?
A. Its a brief account of a trip.
B. Its about Hemingways life as a young man.
C. Its a record of a historic event.
D. Its about Hemingways friends in Paris.
26. What does the underlined word “currency” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Debt. B. Reward.
C. Allowance. D. Face value.
27. What can we infer about the author from the text?
A. He loves poetry. B. Hes an editor.
C. Hes very ambitious. D. He teaches reading.
